With several different kinds of poetry to choose from a man would decide that he would like best to be an epic poet and he would set out in conscious determination on an epic poem.

The poetry of a people comes from the deep recesses of the unconscious the irrational and the collective body of our ancestral memories.

In particular the efforts to reestablish peace after the World War have been directed toward the formation of states and the regulation of their frontiers according to a consciously national program.

Every goal every action every thought every feeling one experiences whether it be consciously or unconsciously known is an attempt to increase one's level of peace of mind.

The psychical whatever its nature may be is itself unconscious.
